EricN Publications is a website for Eric Niewoehner. For someone who is as asynchronous as I am, I am all over the map on social media. In summary, I spent most of my life in the IT world, but have a Masters degree in Agriculture Economics and spent a few years trading grain.
But my love? Writing. Hope you enjoy what I post here and beyond. In a perfect world, I would focus almost exclusively on history and historical fiction, but the issues of the day plus my ongoing attachment to a 39 year career in IT compel me to write articles on those subjects every now and then.
Thanks for your interest.

At this juncture, the website has rather modest objectives, but the primary objective is to provide the reader with a meaningful experience without distractions, and to guard as much as possible the reader’s privacy. The best way to do that is to take great care on features added to the website and to practice full disclosure. Cookies are currently utilized to navigate the website and to provide site analytics.

Special note: As of January 1st, 2023, the new website is officially in operation. The use of cookies is uncertain at this time since we have moved to a different web platform (WordPress). This will be updated as soon as the utilization of cookies is clarified.
EricN Publications and Advertising
Beginning in March 2022, Google advertising was integrated onto the site. This is under continual evaluation, but it appears at this juncture that the ads being presented are consistent with the content being viewed.
Efforts have been made to eliminate what can be termed “misdirection ads”, with buttons such as “Continue” or “Next”. This has made navigating web pages rather frustrating, if not dangerous. This has been addressed with Google and encourage you all to do the same by registering any complaints you have. These misdirection ads are especially confusing on Smartphones.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions, feel free to send a note.

Buggy Stuff
WordPress has its own set of bugs which may affect the user experience.
Crossed-out Links
WordPress has an add-on utility that checks whether links are still active. While that is a good thing for site editors, it has some issues. Just note that if a link is crossed-out, it may still work. The link checker has difficulty with PDF files and script-derived pages, sometimes indicating that these links do not work when they actually are fine.
